History:
In two of my previous post (Introducing MemChat and Jaxl BOSH Demo), I discussed and demoed a very early version of WP Chat plugin. In past 3 months, work has been done to make WP Chat generic enough so that it can be embedded across all kind of blogs, forums, social, personal and enterprise level websites. As of today, the product is named as “Jaxl IM (Instant Messenger for the web)” and made available as “WP-Chat” for the wordpress users.

Hello, I tried this plugin. but in dashboard it is showing “Site Pending”. It is ok? thanks
Hi Karen, Yes thats right. Site status is pending by default. Need to go slow on rolling out the plugin, while still monitoring the in/out flow of things. Fixing existing bugs, before more might creep in
This seems nice,except that i have too upload a html file to my server also that i have to go to an external site too approve my site. Let me see if my FTP dosnt get cracked and i lose all my data. Then i can judge it, anyways it seems simple and nice, so far.
Hi Neru,
Had to made site ownership verification essential to stop users from goofying up while site submission.
It’s a one time process for the good of all
I tried this plugin. but in dashboard it is showing “Site Pending”
had site pending until i checked and verified from email. there is no clarification on this.
but i don’t see where this is in my blog. is there any way to determine where the fool thing is?
Hi gooberdad,
Yes, site verification is an important step to avoid unnecessary spamming on the site submission page.
After site ownership has been claimed, site approval can take 2-3 weeks. For more info kindly visit http://jaxl.im/faq.php
Shall add more information on the dashboard.
looking to use this plugin… why does it take so long for the pending process??
Hi,
Yes, site verification is an important step and the pending status maybe an important process. Instead of waiting this much with nothing in sight and deadlines fast approaching, a user will sadly move ahead to something else.
this much wait is essentially very unfair because the way you’re promoting doesn’t disclose this anywhere that one would have to wait for a month. you should have waited a little longer before promoting it. if there’s going to be frustration, we won’t like it, at all.
Thanks, anyways.
Hi Zach/Saurabh,
Approval process is slow mainly because of two reasons: a) resource crunch b) fix existing bug before approving new domain.
I still haven’t promoted it in any other way except for this blog post. Yes I know the wait can be frustrating.
However at this point, I aim to keep the quality of network high and go slow till Jaxl IM touches beta development phase.
Giving away a crappy version of Jaxl IM will make sure none of you like it, hence slow and steady is the way to go right now.
I would suggest to make it clear that this is beta – and there is a long waiting list for approval – it’s really a great service that is quite needed and this will be really popular service – you can also close the door if there is too many request so people don’t go waiting for a long period of time.
Do you have a big team and are you looking for external extra help ?
@Gef,
Right, we are very limited on resources right now and hence the delay’s in approval.
@All,
I expect everyone to show some patience. This service has been built only to serve you, and finally everyone shall get a hand on it. Process can be slow and appreciate your patience.
This suck!!!!! 3 week approval.
Rather buy premium Comet chat plug in than waste my time for waiting 3 weeks.
Suck!!
H suck,
I won’t mind that. Hopefully you will be back once it is out in beta….
Thanks for your patience.
